<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 1853520, member: 19463&quot;]I don&#039;t at all mind being asked opinions on a coin but it has come up more than once that someone has posted a coin I had seen and had some interest in.&nbsp; In the vast majority of cases, it is not a problem since I&#039;m too cheap to pay the going rate for things that have drawn other interest but I have risked turning on others to coins I like and may want to upgrade.&nbsp; It is not right for me to post a request for Steve not to bid on a coin I know he likes just so he does not bid me up on it but I have mentioned here in the past that I wanted a specific coin that is coming up in a couple weeks and I would prefer certain of you don&#039;t see.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>A friend of mine once backed off a coin because I had already bid on it (this was back when eBay let everyone see the names of the bidders).&nbsp; I did not follow through and the coin went for half what it was worth to someone else.&nbsp; My friend was not happy with me.&nbsp; Today, I have no idea if the person bidding against me is a friend or a stranger.&nbsp;&nbsp; That is better for eBay since it opens the possibility that two of us will bump heads where we would conspire against the seller if we knew the whole situation.&nbsp; There is a post on Forvm at the moment where the winner, second and third have all introduced themselves.&nbsp; I&#039;d rather I not take a coin or run up the price for my friend in the far north but I hope when I post a new win that I see a reply saying &#039;nice coin&#039; rather than, &#039;It was me that you outbid with 5 seconds to go&#039;.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
